What other type of water was there? Turn it on let it flush and drink!
Uhh excuse me. There was also watergun water. Stream water. Bath water...
Who's steam you drinking?....
Water from a rinced off Windex spray bottle.
Hey don't forget the water barrel. If you dunk the bottle down deep under the scum on top, that's some good, cold water!
Gen X here. What made us uniquely who we were is that we were the first generation to know that the boomers were full of shit. It was a loss of innocence.
I’m technically a millennial (right on the cut off) and I was also raised on these, but instead people keep blaming me for everything.
And MTV. It's interesting to observe how little is relevant anymore what we grew up with. And it's getting faster and faster. Social media in it's current form will die too in the next 10 years or so. Memes will prevail, though. They have to.

Damn right!
I'm gen z but hose water was the best
Nobody cares.
Because of the formatting I read this as, "Raised on hose, water, and neglect."
neglect
because boomer (too much) enjoying their life?
Hell, GenX is called boomers by their kids.
That’s because boomers are old now so they can’t see what they were really like.
Pretty much. As much as they could without the kids bugging them and they still complained about raising kids.
Boomers simply didn’t invest in the next generation. We were expected to do everything ourselves.
